Secured IN Behalf or the
Condemned.
[By telegraph % the pIspatch.l

tby Telegraph 10 the DlspatchI
New YORK, September 23.-Captain
Black, who arrived from Chicago last
night, was at the Office OF General
Roger A. Pryor at ii o'clock this morn
ing to present the case of the con-
demned Anarchists to the lawyer, with
the view to carrying the case TO the
United States Supreme Court. General
Pryor had said that he would not COM
nit himself to the management OF the
case, at least until he was made tho
roughly acquainted with it. The consul
tation lasted until :i5 o'clock. When
Captain Black came from the lawyers
sanctum his face was wreathed in
smiles. He would only say, how
ever: 81 have won General Pryor
over, having explained everything
to his satisfaction and convinced
him of the iustness of our side.'
General Pryor said: ~ am convinced
that the points taken by Captain Black
are excellent, and that an application
for a writ OF error will be granted. l
do not see how the application can DO
refused, and we shall not lose q mo-
ment in carrying the case TO Washing
ton. 1 say we, for 1 am now con-
nected with the case. / am. confident
we shall obtain writ in time 10 pre-
vent the execution of the condemned
pen. In my judgment-formed from
Captain Blacks notes.-the records will
show so many errors that no great
exertion will be necessary for us TO win.
The unexpected may happen, of course,
but have no fears"

Captain Frank CunniDgham's Goa
cert Last Night.

Ford's Broad-Street Opera House
was opened for the first time last night,
and the concert given for the benefit of
Captain Frank w. Cunningham was
success in every respect. The audience
was large and fashionable. The lower
floor was crowded and the gallery half
full.
The house, despite the wretched mp
pesrance the exterior makes, is q snug
little theatre, and it is hard to realize
the change that has been wrought ia
the building which was formerly the
fredericksburg railroad depot. The
ceiling is frescoed in bright colors. n
large chandelier hangs from the centre,
and the whole interior is pleasing to the
eye. The drop-curtain represents n
scene on the Rhine, with boats, noun
tains, people, &C., in it. The sides are
PAINTED so as TO represent heavy blue
curtain drapery. Last night the stage
was tastily decorated with ferns and
other pottsd plants.
The proscenium boxes give the occu-
pants good view Of the stage and
house. They are hung with cream
colorcd lace curtains. The lower floor
is fashioned somewhat like the Thea
tre-horse-shoe shaped-only the circle
extends back much further nearly to
the door. in fact. The seats down stairs
ale all good, but those in the gallery
back Of the first row except III front
sre almost useless. The stage from
these cannot be seen at al. The col
ored gallery is directly over the Broad
street entrance, and the seats in this
space are very good, notwithstanding
tie distance from the stage.
The front doors open into a lobby,
the sides Of which are finished in at
trsctive designs of rough mortar style,
different from anything seen here be-
fore. The ceiling is OF blush tint.
The entire building will be Illuminated
by gas lighted by electricity. The
electrical appliances have been put in
ly Mr.. Z. 4. Fisher. under the direc-
ton OF Superintendent W. II. Thomp-
son, Of the Fire-Alarm Department.
The acoustics Of the house are good,
and the hall has a seating capacity OF
1,4OO.
The stage is lacking in depth and
dressingroom accommodations. The
scenery Is pretty.
